but led's look at the medicare argument. if you're a single man born in 1945, that means you're approaching 70, on medicare. if you made about $20,000 a year during your career, that was your average, then in medicare taxes, you paid about $18,000, roughly $18,000 to $20,000 in taxes. if you made about $110,000 a year in your career, you paid about $88,000 to the government in medicare taxes. that's what you paid in. a lot of conservatives are saying you need to change the program. this is one of the reasons why. this is what you get out. if you paid $18,000, you're getting ten times out over the course of your lifetime in benefits. you paid about $88,000 in, you're getting a 2-1 deal, more than $200,000 in benefits. so conservatives and republicans say we've got to change this program somehow. we have to take some money out of medicare, reduce the costs. here's one of the reasons that's essential. if you look through the '70s, '80s, '90s, even up to now, the green is the revenue, the red line is the cost. roughly the money
